Chapter 253 Attacking Fusang from both sides

It would be okay if Daming refused.

But if Ming bites the bullet and agrees, other kings in Tibet will inevitably follow suit. Although Ming will feel uncomfortable, it will put Queen Wanshan in an extremely unfavorable strategic situation.

It's like, if there is an opportunity, you can cut Daming himself and Queen Wan Shan with a knife, and let's see how Daming chooses.

"No."

"You can't be so passive."

"Brother Zhou."

Wan Shanhou put down the information and said to Zhou Dexing.

"What's your majesty's order?"

Zhou Dexing responded to Wan Shanhou.

"Then it's better than the propaganda methods we and those old aristocrats use."

Zhou Dexing said.

"Each one depends on his ability."

"We are kind enough. They are not Han people. Other invaders treat them like cattle and horses. We can still provide them with some protection. There is no way that tens of thousands of Han people who came from Ming Dynasty will come with us. Everyone in the family is treated the same."

"Your Majesty, Tibet is so high and dangerous that it is extremely difficult to develop. It will be a mess for the Ming Dynasty, let alone our Liang Kingdom."

"What if...it's the ragtag majority of those Tughluks."

"At least, at least one country must surrender under our command."

"It doesn't matter. At the worst, we can send more troops from various states and strengthen military training to suppress the rebellion. At most, the Gluks will suffer."

Zhou Dexing frowned.

"Anyway, as long as we can give more than those old nobles, the sensible people among the low-level Tughluks will not fall to them."

Zhou Dexing was silent for a while and then said.

"Take one-tenth of the military expenditure and recruit tens of thousands of locals as cannon fodder... It's not the security army. Let them help us deal with those old nobles."

The corners of Wan Shanhou's mouth curled up slightly.

Wan Shanhou waved his hand and said.

"Besides, aren't those people also very happy? When you go shopping in our market these days, you can't help but laugh at the corners of your mouth. The rebels are all former nobles. These people did not take the initiative to rebel."

"Send envoys to visit the four Tibetan countries that have not yet sent envoys to the Ming Dynasty to seal the seal."

"In addition, strengthen the spies on Ming's side. Once we find out that Ming has accepted the surrender of which Tibetan country, we will immediately order our envoys to express that Ming is willing to accept their wishes."

Wan Shanhou said.

"If you don't tell me about Tughluq in advance, how can your majesty get the Tibetan kingdom to give up the Ming Dynasty, which is much more powerful than us, and join us, Daliang?"

"Many feudal lords openly join forces with these people but secretly collude with them, but at least they dare not confront us openly. Our intentions will still be conveyed."

"This is our advantage, and their advantage is that they control the gentry and nobles everywhere, and they are the authority in the eyes of the people at the bottom of Tughluq. This is a relatively fair game."

"This matter is also a matter of publicity."

"It doesn't matter whether we can be stronger than Ming Dynasty, as long as we are stronger than the countries in Tibet, and let them think that we can be on par with Ming Dynasty for a short time, it is enough."

"What I mean, do you understand?"

"Increase the frequency of our caravans going to Tibet. We don't need to waste time and effort to build a market system first. We just continue to purchase materials from their local clan leaders in large quantities at low prices and earn some interest from them first. As long as we show up more often than the Ming Dynasty There are many merchants, so they will naturally feel that our strength is no less than or even stronger than Ming Dynasty."

"After all, with their intelligence capabilities, let alone infiltrating the Ming Dynasty, it would be difficult even for us."

A glint flashed in Wan Shanhou's eyes.

"Your Majesty is wise."

"Wei Chen understands, let's do it now!"

Zhou Dexing's eyes showed a look of sudden realization and he nodded. Biyangjiu Island is the northernmost island belonging to the Beishan Kingdom. It is now owned by the Ming Dynasty and has established the most cutting-edge naval base.

At this time, Yu Tongyuan, under the guise of a descendant of the Wu family, had already set sail with nine armored ships. After him, Zhu Di and Maha organized dozens of landing ships to quickly allow the Ming Dynasty's infantry soldiers to board the ships.

"Your Highness King Yan, how are the preparations going?"

Yu Tongyuan said to Zhu Di.

"General Yu...Wu, the Ming landing ship is ready and ready to go at any time."

Zhu Di said slightly excitedly.

Finally got a chance to fight. Although it was not a fight against Meng Yuan, which was a bit regretful, Zhu Di was already excited.

Especially, among the partners, there is Lan Yu. When he joins forces with Lan Yu, he will find a way to directly ask Lan Yu to write a letter and transfer him to Northern Xinjiang. Wouldn't his goal of conquering the Northern General be one step closer?

"Ah."

"Then let's set off. Your Highness, please remember to follow us. We will select weak and flat areas along the Fuso coast and use warship firepower to suppress the Fuso people's coastal defense guns. Your Highness will find the right opportunity to land on the beach."

"Your Highness, remember never to sit in a ship marked as a flagship."

"Let's set off in an hour."

Yu Tongyuan said.

"clear."

Zhu Di also looked solemn and nodded.

Zhu Di followed Yu Tongyuan's suggestion, gave up the flagship he originally used, and chose an inconspicuous landing ship arranged for him by Yu Tongyuan as his new command ship.

Although this ship is inconspicuous, it is not bad at all. Although it is not big, it is covered with iron armor on the inside. Although it cannot be seen from the outside, it is indeed a small iron armored ship.

"Sambo, why don't you come over quickly and pour tea for His Highness?"

Maha just scolded, and suddenly a child of three or five years old brought a pot of tea to Zhu Di and started pouring tea for Zhu Di.

"Why did you bring such a young child out?"

Zhu Di looked at Ma Sanbao in front of him with a look of helplessness.

"Reply to Your Highness."

"Although the child is not as young and promising as His Highness, he is still a warrior in southern Xinjiang. He should be trained since childhood. If he really dies on the battlefield, his fate will be considered bad."

Maha only spoke.

"I... okay."

"I really don't have anything to say, just let this little brat follow me."

Zhu Di hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

At the age of thirteen, he forced Xiao Han and Zhu Biao to send him out despite Zhu Yuanzhang's dissatisfaction, as if he really had no qualifications to speak in this regard.

Dozens of ships set off from the base and headed north. The distance from here to Fuso was only three hundred miles, which was only a little farther than Lan Yu who crossed the strait and landed in Fuso from the north.

For a time, the north and the south responded, and the two armies rushed straight to the southern border of Fusang.

Muromachi Shogunate.

There was a lot of noise.

"General, the Ming Dynasty's army is coming towards us, Fuso. How should we respond and how should we explain to His Majesty the Emperor?"

A staff member of the shogunate, Murakami Ariki said to Ashikaga Yoshimitsu.

"I know Daming is coming!"

"I called you losers here to find a solution, not to ask the general!"

Ashikaga Yoshimitsu snorted angrily.
